Arrest warrant for e-hailing driver over abusive TikTok posts
KOTA KINABALU (May 23): A Sessions Court here issued an arrest warrant against an e-hailing driver, who was charged with posting abusive comments on social media TikTok.
Judge Amir Shah Amir Hassan issued the warrant of arrest against Attad Alamin, 45, after the latter failed to turn up in court today when the case came up for mentioning.
The prosecution had applied for the warrant to be issued on Attad since he was not present in court when his case was supposed to be mentioned to fix a hearing date.
The prosecution submitted that only his bailors attended court and claimed that they wanted to withdraw themselves.
The court fixed June 24 to review the warrant of arrest and to hear withdrawal applications by the sureties.
Attad was accused of committing the offence and allegedly read by a man, who felt hurt by the post, at a house in Papar on 5pm on April 5, 2024.
This case was first brought to court on August 15, 2024 and at that time, Attad was released on RM3,000 bail with two local sureties.
